The Queen Mother jumped from the tower, and His Majesty was reborn with fear

Is this a promise?

"I don't care what you think in your heart, or what you want to do. But there is only one thing, that is, stay by my side and don't do any messy things. As long as you are good, I can indulge you, tolerate you, and protect you." Xie Yuxiu never made promises easily, but he always kept his word.

Yu Jinzhi was a little surprised. She didn't expect things to go so smoothly, nor did she expect to have such gains right from the start.

"In the Imperial Garden, there are the hibiscus trees that you planted when you were in the General's Mansion. If you have time, you can go and have a look. I have a pile of memorials to deal with today, so I won't go with you." Xie Yuxiu added.

Is this asking her to go out for a walk? Yu Jinzhi did not refuse. After Xie Yuxiu left, the expression on her face faded a little, and Qingyu also came over: "Princess, do you want to go out for a walk? Didn't you like Mu Jin very much when you were in the general's mansion? I'm afraid you won't see her in a few days."

Because the name You Yu Jin Zhi contains the words "Jin" and "Zhi", many hibiscus and gardenia are planted in the general's mansion.

"Change clothes." Yu Jinzhi said softly.

This meant that she was going out. Qingyu was also surprised. Because no matter what she said, the princess had always been unhappy and unwilling to leave the room. Today, she was actually willing to go out for a walk, and she was relieved.

Yu Jinzhi changed into a light and simple dress. Except for the last time she went to the Imperial Garden to see the blooming of the Epiphyllum, she really hadn't stepped out of Jiayu Palace for a long time.

It was already November, and the weather outside was starting to get cooler. Yu Jinzhi was weak, so she brought an extra cloak with her.

Xie Yuxiu had just been on the throne for over a year. Before that, he had not been taken seriously, so no one cared about his marriage.

After he ascended the throne, ministers in the court vied with each other to send their daughters into the palace. Adding to the general election when he ascended the throne, there are now quite a few concubines in the harem.

However, Xie Yuxiu had no interest in the affairs of the harem, so he almost never got involved. At first, the ministers in the court were also dissatisfied with this, but later they kept silent because of Xie Yuxiu's thunderous methods.

but……

These women in the harem are not so easy to give up. His Majesty has not yet favored any of the concubines. If anyone can become the first, then the status will naturally be self-evident.

In order to meet Xie Yuxiu, the Imperial Garden became a place where everyone rushed to compete for beauty. For example, today, there were several wild butterflies in the Imperial Garden.

Yu Jinzhi had just arrived at the Imperial Garden when she saw several palace concubines in gorgeous clothes gathered together not far away, and she had no idea what they were talking about.

Yu Jinzhi didn't like dealing with these people, so she frowned the first time she saw them.

"Princess, let me accompany you to the other side, okay?" Qingyu was also a perceptive person, and she immediately wanted to help Yu Jinzhi to the other side.

But just as they turned around, the people not far away saw her and shouted, "Stop."

Yu Jinzhi stood still, and several people behind her came over with the help of palace maids. The moment she turned around, someone recognized her.

"Isn't this Princess Jiayu? How come you have the leisure to kill time in the Imperial Garden today?" The first person to speak should be the one with the highest rank among the people opposite.

She looked Yu Jinzhi up and down, with a hint of disdain between her eyebrows.

"I just came out for a stroll, and I didn't expect to meet Lin Xiuyi." Yu Jinzhi replied indifferently.

This person is the legitimate daughter of Lin Yushi, and was canonized as Xiuyi after entering the palace. The two behind him are Jiang Meiren and Wu Cairen.

"Since Lin Xiuyi is here, I don't want to spoil your fun, so I will not accompany you." Yu Jinzhi said as she was about to leave, but how could she let the people opposite her go?

His Majesty has never visited any of his concubines, but the Princess Jiayu in front of him is different...

Who doesn't know that His Majesty has been imprisoning Princess Jiayu in Jiayu Palace? Except for handling government affairs, His Majesty stays in Jiayu Palace almost every day.

She is not even a concubine, so how can she get such favors? So this will naturally cause dissatisfaction among those in the harem.

"Princess Jiayu." Lin Xiuyi called again, then blocked her way.

Yu Jinzhi's expression was calm, but the warmth in her eyes faded a bit. What is the Imperial Garden? Since she came here today, it certainly wasn't just for a few hibiscus flowers...

"Princess Jiayu is really capable. Although she is only a princess, she does the work of a concubine. She thinks about how to serve His Majesty every day. She is really thoughtful." Who can't hear the meaning of Lin Xiuyi's words?

As soon as she finished speaking, Lady Jiang next to her joined in, covering her face with her hands and laughing softly: "I think Princess Jiayu is very capable. I didn't know the phrase 'a beautiful girl hidden in a golden house' before, but now I see it clearly in Princess Jiayu."

"Your Majesty has never set foot in the harem since he ascended the throne. Only Princess Jiayu has such extraordinary abilities that His Majesty can keep her in his mind every day." Cairen Wu also said.

Yu Jinzhi didn't react to their words. She didn't know how many times she had heard such words. Wasn't there anything new in them?

"General Yu has been at the border all year round, and Madam Yu died young, so naturally no one taught the princess what propriety, righteousness, integrity and shame are. So it's not surprising that she did such a thing. But no matter how unruly Princess Jiayu is, she must observe the rules and pay more attention to the integrity of a girl. She can't learn these seductive tricks every day." Lin Xiuyi's face turned cold as she spoke.

Yu Jinzhi only looked up at her when she heard this, but she didn't say anything. Seeing her like this, Lin Xiuyi thought she didn't dare to argue with him. After all, Yu Jinzhi used to be famous for being spoiled, but now she can hold back?

Thinking of this, Lin Xiuyi became even more presumptuous, and immediately scolded: "Presumptuous! What's with that look in your eyes? Do you think I said something wrong? Yu Jinzhi, do you really think you are the darling of heaven you once were?"

Yu Jinzhi could naturally understand the current situation. She knew that she had no status and position at the moment. But it didn't matter. She might not be unable to get it back...

Sometimes showing weakness is not shameful, nor does it mean you have no backbone. You have to endure when you should, but you also have to fight back when you should.

She doesn't have the confidence now, but she can strive for it herself...

Yu Jinzhi also wanted to know, if Xie Yuxiu knew about his current situation in the palace, how would he react?

Only if he sees that he is truly trampled upon by everyone in this palace, he might believe that he really has no one to rely on...
